You are correct. In the movies, he was lynched because he had a child with a white woman. He was called Candyman because of the honey poured on him. I have no idea what that person is talking about regarding handing and out candy or razors. It’s definitely not from the short story. He has no backstory in the short…

Lordt, Teyonah Parris is just TOO DAMN GORGEOUS.

And this is America! We don’t believe in royalty. Down with King George!

Serious question: Did this guy become one of those QAnon/Pizzagate buffoons who see pedophilia everywhere they look?

They’ll just move it to another cathedral.
Like the Pope’s Mitre, it’s old hat. 

Also, the Sistine Chapel, but I assume the catholic church knows the drill by now.

“Hey! Wait! I filed a dumb complaint.”

Oh for the sake of fuck.

That story doesn’t track either because no one in Ireland is ever embarrassed about being too drunk

It’s shocking that this wasn’t somehow Tom Holland’s fault.

Out of context it’s pretty unremarkable, but “Don’t be silly” at the end of Barton Fink is a real kick to the gut every time for me.

Memento: “Now, where was I?”

Okay, but then why did the show explicitly bring up the finances of a football club in the episode in question? I don’t think I—I won’t speak for anyone else—am responding to anything that the third episode didn’t explicitly make part of the text. If they intention was to just write that storyline off, they needed to…

I was discussing this with someone else and basically my position is that there are too many moving parts in that story (the sponsorship, the racial dynamics, the political dynamics) for it to carry zero consequences. The show’s positive worldview is fine, honestly, but there’s a limit to what it is able to swallow up…

I still don’t understand why Clive Owen was cast when I know Ryan Murphy has John Travolta’s number! I mean, you have access to the star of “Primary Colors,” and you don’t fucking use him!?  What the fuck!!!!?

The real Roy Keane, fwiw, did suffer with continual injuries, including multiple serious knee injuries (most famously the cruciate injury in attempting to foul Alf Inge Haaland, which inspired him to then attempt to break Haaland’s legs a few years later in a premeditated assault). He himself blamed this on his…

He kind of looks like you took a Clive Owen mask and stuck it over Bill Clinton, rather than the other way ‘round.

Yeah, I bumped on that too. I don’t know if it’s an age thing, where people who didn’t grow up with Clinton as President don’t remember this, but I do think it’s easy to forget just how intensely charismatic and magnetic a personality Clinton was — it’s been a long damn time since he’s been at his peak in that regard.…

Finding someone who looks like someone isn’t inspired casting. Finding someone who feels like someone is.

Beanie is incredibly inspired casting for this and singlehandedly makes me excited to check it out.
